Microsoft adds guest access capabilities to Teams

Microsoft has updated its Teams collaboration software, adding guest account access and beefing up security and management capabilities for IT admins.

The guest access, rolled out today, means that Office 365 users can now add people from outside their company to a team, enabling third-party users to participate in chats, join meetings and collaborate on documents.

The new feature means that IT staff will now be able to centrally manage guest accounts, enabling them to add, view or, if necessary, revoke access.
